As we noted, this will be the first Manhattan outpost from the market, which has two outposts in Brooklyn and one in Astoria. They offer a variety of Japanese snacks, as well as in-house-made sushi.
Posted hours: 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. (All sushi is 50% off after 8 p.m.)
Meanwhile, a few storefronts to the south, the 16 Handlies location has closed. We mentioned this on Jan. 12. The froyo brand is expected to open a few blocks to the south.
And in the other storefront in the 6-floor residential building, the Cooper Still closed after service on Saturday... black trash bags now adorn the front windows... (photo by Steven)...
There's no mention of a closure, temporary or otherwise, on the door... or the tavern's website. Google still shows them as being open — even when they are not.
According to a sign on the front door of 16 Handles, ownership was unable to reach a renewal agreement with the newish landlord here. It's possible that the Cooper Still, which opened in June 2014, met the same fate, though nothing is official yet.
